In a word, no... no one can furnish you with such advice because block-
local and/or function-local ``stack'' variables are not allocated at
fixed addresses. Rather, they are allocated dynamically, at run time,
and may actually reside at different places in the stack at different
times during the execution of the program which contains them.
